AUFAN78 3,916 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Hard to argue with Michael on this one. It is a sad, but important analysis. However this era of angry polarization, crime and violence ends, it will be left to historians to decipher how America got so far off track. Instead of building on our unprecedented prosperity and role as the world’s ultimate superpower, we declared war — cultural, political and social — on each other. Even our nation’s Founders are not spared. The reasons will be better understood in hindsight, but it’s hard to believe the 2016 presidential campaign won’t be seen as an inflection point. Our move toward disunion didn’t begin then, but it certainly gained steam and vitriol during and after the election of Donald Trump. https://nypost.com/2022/04/09/america-is-still-paying-the-price-for-hillary-clintons-treachery/ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyAU 3,634 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 She was always a horribly polarizing choice. To this day she thinks the election was "stolen" from her and can't come to grips with the reality that she was almost universally unlikeable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think Mr Murdoch had a little something to do with the culture war in this country? I guess it was all Hillary's fault. If she has that much power, she damn well should have been President.

You’re living in the past. Our current President won the election by amassing 81 million votes in the highest voter turnout in history. How are Biden’s approval ratings now and, more importantly, knowing what you know now would you have voted for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I would vote for the current President every time when the other option is someone that lies to my face with no regrets. Do you honestly believe that any economic policy of the current administration has caused inflation or gas price increases etc? Things don't turn on a dime like that. I'm not happy with everything Biden has done, and given the choice I would prefer someone younger. That said, he isn't some walking vegetable like the far right wants to promote.

To the bolded part; its interesting that Biden is doing the same thing and you can’t see it. The inflation may have been there if Trump had retained the office as there were about $7 trillion pumped into the economy in 2020. Adding $6 Trillion more on top of that was adding fuel to the fire. The gas prices were rising before Russia invaded Ukraine as Biden’s war of fossil fuel comes with a price. The combination of lifting restrictions on Nord Stream 2, his debacle of a withdrawal from Afghanistan and his personal war on fossil fuels led to the invasion. Notice, I did not say he was responsible for the invasion, just that he created the environment for Putin to believe he could take Ukraine. How’s his poll numbers? With people that are not Democrats, white college educated females and African Americans? No, he’s not a walking vegetable: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media in general are culpable no doubt and not just Murdoch. Not surprising you single him out . It remains shocking to me how you give Hillary a pass for concocting potentially the most destructive disinformation document in US history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure other countries are experiencing inflation, but are they at 8.5% they haven’t seen for 40 years? That’s Jimmy Carter numbers right there. You can’t soften the blow, it is what it is and the person you support is at the helm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COVID?????? He was given a vaccine that worked, told the American people he was *not going to shut down the country, he was going to shut down the virus* and proceeded to lose more people to COVID than the person you believe wasn’t doing enough. One of the reasons we are in this inflation situation is because Biden didn’t open up the work force so the people could make money instead of getting handouts. Biden’s personal war on fossil fuels is what initiated the gas price hike well before Russia invaded Ukraine. The invasion just exacerbated the issue. The man is a disaster for America, but MAPs (Minor Attracted Persons), pediphiles and race baiters love him.

Um….Biden only continued the help that Trump put into motion. Never mind the fact that Trump was able to crack the whip on the Treasury to have the payments issued in record time. He fumbled many things with the virus, but trying to ease the financial burden of people was one thing he did well. Biden has not done anything spectacular with handling this virus. Honestly there isn’t much he could have done anyway, but he promised a lot of things in the name of bad mouthing trump. I’ll give Biden credit if he’s done something good, but I haven’t seen anything great that I can point to that he’s done. He hasn’t got us in a nuclear war with Russia yet, so there’s that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
